I'm more sympathetic to Hasbro because of the choices. If I want a Magnus who functions as a car carrier I can get one. If I want a Magnus who's more in scale and has the inner robot gimmick I can get it. Used to be that Hasbro would have gone "we did an updated Devastator not too long ago...

And the fandom rejoiced. And complained.

I think it's probably down to whatever deals are made with the property being licensed. Some are probably fine with very G1-y packaging to sell the 80s-ness of it but I can see some properties wanting more representation on the packaging.

Both the original Cylon Raider and Basestar would make for great robot modes.

I get that it's source material vehicle mode accurate but Kup looks like the guy at the gym with a USA 🇺🇸 EST 1776 tanktop

Touché 😛 But yeah that's a good point. It may be the only Studio Series release that's tied to cancelled media 😆

Honestly? I'd be all in on two Core boxsets of the BW cast. It even works in the larger canon if you think about it. Maximals and Predacons are supposed to be smaller than Autobots and Decepticons.

ReActivate Bumblebee in Studio Series could be a first... something from on-screen media that's released before the media!

Turbokat from SwatKats Galactica from Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper from Battlestar Galactica A few of the key ships from Star Trek would be cool, with the original Enterprise and the Enterprise D most likely to make some money Lifeguard SUV from Baywatch to complete Team Hoff

It'd be more than a conversation killer. Not that I'm accusing you of this- you have said yourself that it's specifically something you tried to avoid- but one reason I got perhaps overly defensive is because Jews seem to be the one minority where it's "acceptable" to tell us how we "should"...

It's not easy being green.

They may have seen "G1 Sentinel Prime" and assumed Sunbow Sentinel aka U-Haul Robot, but as we've discussed "G1 Sentinel Prime" can be anything from lilac blue and orange to yellow and red to orange, red, and yellow. They probably opted for the one that gave them the truck scanning reference...

I'm not. The only thing I'm accusing you of is being a bit too into a specific run of comics that when someone with a distinctly different viewpoint says "actually it has some issues" you are unable to put your fandom aside to consider said alternate viewpoint. I don't think it's malicious on...

There's also the first instance of IDW Sentinel, in the lineage of Primes scene shown in Spotlight: Optimus. He's far more yellow than orange. So the yellow body/red facemask in and of itself isn't wrong for the character. I think the misstep here is simply that orange would have also been...

Please don't do the comic book equivalent of "you're playing with it wrong." Again, I'm not the one who decided to lean on Holocaust imagery to make IDW1 Megs Actual Space Hitler. Getting annoyed that a Jewish person who had family affected by the very real historical events the story chooses to...

More orangey-red highlights instead of blue would have helped.

It's been years since I checked back in on it and the first thing I see is a giant sword jet land aircraft carrier thing It's absurdly anime and I adore it

See I went from wanting my space warfare sagas to be shades of grey morally complex stuff in the 2000s and early 2010s before realizing that... hmm... actually? The real world is morally complicated enough. I want my stories to be... well... not about the crap I had to study in uni talking to...

I was gonna ask. Is slavish devotion to washed out masters and bad DVD scans TT's version of Hasbro just using TFWiki? Anyway as someone who has made Sentinel Prime his "obscure guy who's MAH BOY" character this whole thing has me feeling so many ways. "We'll just make him an Optimus repaint!"...

I always stop paying attention to new Diaclone only to come back to it and go "oh so it's gotten more crazy. Fun!" I wish I had the money and space to commit to this stuff.
